Aerosmith Concert Film “Rock for the Rising Sun” Coming to Local Theaters

Aerosmith have always put on big, awesome live performances in Japan. When they scheduled dates for the fall of 2011, however, they didn’t know they would arrive with heavy hearts.

The band’s Music From Another Dimension! tour went through Japan just months after the country was ravaged by a devastating tsunami and subsequent nuclear meltdown, and documented several of the shows seen for their new concert film Rock for the Rising Sun. The footage, originally meant for the band’s personal archives, certainly shows plenty of added emotion in the performances.

Now, Specticast and Eagle Rock Entertainment are partnering up to deliver the concert film to the big screen in movie theaters across Massachusetts. Plenty of Boston-area theaters will show the movie starting on Thursday, October 17.

You can get more info on the movie, including ticket giveaways and more showtimes, at AerosmithOnScreen.com.
